Networks Tigon 1 and Tigon 2 chipsets. There are a _lot_ of OEM'ed gigabit ethernet adapters out there which use the Alteon chipset so this driver covers a fair amount of hardware. I know that it works with the Alteon AceNIC, 3Com 3c985 and Netgear GA620, however it should also work with the DEC/Compaq EtherWORKS 1000, Silicon Graphics Gigabit ethernet board, NEC Gigabit Ethernet board and maybe even the IBM and and Sun boards. The Netgear board is the cheapest (~$350US) but still yields fairly good performance. Support is provided for jumbo frames with all adapters (just set the MTU to something larger than 1500 bytes), as well as hardware multicast filtering and vlan tagging (in conjunction with the vlan support in -current, which I should merge into -stable soon). There are some hooks for checksum offload support, but they're turned off for now since FreeBSD doesn't have an officially sanctioned way to support checksum offloading (yet). I have not added the 'device ti0' entry to GENERIC since the driver with all the firmware compiled in is quite large, and it doesn't really fit into the category of generic hardware. |
